A calligraphic, hand-drawn serif with compact proportions and a noticeably short x-height. Strokes show moderate contrast and a subtle, penned modulation, with wedge-like and bracketed serifs that feel gently sculpted rather than mechanically sharp. Curves are slightly irregular in a deliberate way, giving the letters a lively rhythm and a “written” texture, while the overall construction stays consistent and upright for clear word shapes. Counters are fairly open, ascenders are prominent, and many terminals end in soft flicks or tapered points that add character without becoming ornate.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, book covers, titles, and short passages where its calligraphic texture can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and invitations where a classic, handcrafted tone is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys a traditional, storybook tone—warm, a little whimsical, and distinctly literary. Its handwritten formality suggests classic print ephemera and ceremonial headings, with an inviting, human presence that feels crafted rather than industrial.
The design appears intended to blend formal calligraphic cues with approachable readability, offering a classic serif silhouette enlivened by hand-drawn modulation and gently irregular details. It aims to evoke traditional print and storytelling while remaining controlled enough for confident, repeatable setting.
Capital forms carry the most personality, with pronounced serifs and occasional flare at joins that reads like broad-pen influence. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved, slightly swashed strokes and a cohesive texture alongside the letters, making mixed text feel unified.
